It’s exactly a year today that Bristol City were 3-0 up away at Derby County only to draw 3-3.

Yesterday was a similar story as Sunderland mounted a successful comeback at Ashton Gate – a result that Chris Coleman admitted afterwards that he had never experienced in his time in management before.

Following the match, Lee Johnson fronted up to the media and answered on whether he is worried about his side's ongoing form since Wolves netted a late winner on December 30 2017.

“I think you’re always concerned at this stage of the season when you throw away a three goal lead against a side that’s in the relegation zone,” he explained.

“I’m not going to sugar-coat it but I still do have the belief in the players that we’ve got the quality and we’ve got the spirit and attitude but we have to show that,” explained Johnson.

Johnson was asked about picking up the players for the next game against Leeds.

“They’ve got to pick me up first. I think it works both ways,” he explained.

“Obviously it’s my job to lead but I think I’ve done that by saying that it’s my fault. And I believe that – I’m not saying that to protect the players.

“I believe that that was my fault today. I have to make sure I make better decisions but we have to go again and I’ve got to pick a team that’s trust worthy and has energy in every area of the pitch, whether that’s stopping the cross or shutting down like we like to shut down.
